That is so sweet,
do you have any history behind it.
What happened in the last 30 years..

Wow...you found this? Excellent!  This is the best error coin I've seen in a while. |

Thanks guys....I got this from a gentleman that had this sitting in his house since the 1980's.
The weight is correct for a 1980 penny, size is a tad bit larger and although it does not show in the pictures there is a tiny reeded edge area where the planchet was struck against the collar during the strike...

Great looking coin D
I have one almost the exact same, but mine is a dollar on a penny planchet.
One of these ($0.25) just sold at the Torex or Nuphilex coin auction for $220 (MS-62)

Thanks Canadian-Banknotes...Your dollar on a penny planchet is a great find.. ..would like to hear the story on it and if possible pictures would be nice... I looked at some of the Torex prices and maybe its just me but they seem to be down from trends and it is now a buyers market... |

I dont have a camera right now and my scanner does really bad scans. But I might try.

It took me about 30 minutes, but here is one side of my coin.  |

As you can see, my scanner leaves weird lines across the image. And the colour is off. My coin has a similar toning that yours does.

To remove the lines your scanner makes on your pictures. Use a free editing software such as Paint.net and use it to edit your pictures. Do a yahoo search for Paint.net and it is freeware. When you open your picture in Paint.net...choose the option to "noise reduction". It will remove the lines. Adjust the noise to your liking. Works wonders. You can also try PhotoScape. PhotoScape is what I use to cut and crop coin pics as it allows you to crop round objects easily. PhotoScape is also a freeware.

I just downloaded Paint.net what do I look under to find the "Noise reduction"?
Effects, Image, Adjustments, etc?
Thanks
